How to make Poi - Angari

This week for Writing, Mr Wong's group wrote a Procedural text on How to make a Poi. For our lesson we watched a video about how to make a poi. In groups we took notes about the materials needed, steps, and keywords. We made sure that all our steps began with a verb and that we used specific words in our text. We revised about the structures and language features about a Procedural piece of text. I worked with Zane for the planning. Then I worked on my own for the text. 

Writing DLO - Procedural text

This week for Writing, Mr Wong's groups have been mainly focusing on Procedural (Instructional) Writing. Last week we talked about structures of a procedural text, now this week we discussed about the language features of an instructional text. For our session we worked with group Aotearoa. We got into groups, and were given a pen and paper. Our groups had to list down as many verbs in the text as possible. Then we had to spot 'Compound Verbs', for example:'Take turns'. Another Compound verb was 'Ante Up'. After that, we watched an instructional video and wrote down all the verbs we heard as possible. It was suprising to see a lot of verbs in a short piece of text. Our must do was do make a Writing DLO about the exemplar, 'How to play Marbles'. I worked with Zane, Joel, Nyjah and Mele.
